Creating public spaces

Jin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in California. She studies hard. "Of course, I came here for the academic (学术)," she says. "But the campus is so beautiful. I walk around just to relax."

Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City, jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. "I never get bored. The park is so big. It's a public space, yet it can feel completely private."

Niagara Falls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. "There are these wonderful footpaths that make the falls so close to the general public."

In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in New York City. Frederick Law Olmsted and his partner, Calvert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product - the first landscaped public park in the United States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.

Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, like Stanford University. He also designed footpaths at Niagara Falls to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted tried to protect the natural beauty of an area.

Today there are new pressures on Niagara Falls: some business want to develop the area, On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls State Park, there are now souvenir (纪念品) shops. There may be signs that say "No Littering," but there is still a lot of trash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared. What would Olmsted think?

In Britain.Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day.However, strictly speaking.Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.Like Christmas Day.Boxing Day sing a public holiday.This means it’s a non﹣working day in the whole of Britain.When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.

The exact origin(起源)of the holiday is unclear.One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父)on each ship.Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.The priest wouldn’t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.

One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day.Worshippers (做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it.These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.

Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.

Last holiday my family decided to go back to the countryside in New Hampshire again, but I found it boring.

It was bad that I had to sleep in the same small bed with my brother.

However, this trip ended up being fun for me because I met a very special friend. While I was walking in the countryside, I saw a man carrying a small brown bag. The man looked like a ghost(鬼) in his white clothes. When he looked at me, I felt scared(害怕的). I wanted to run away when the man spoke to me. “Hello, beautiful day, isn't it?” he said.

The man talked a lot. I wasn't listening very carefully because I was looking at his little bag. I wanted to know what was in it!

He saw me looking at the bag and he asked me if I would like to see what was inside of it. Out came a beautiful puppy (小狗). The brown puppy was small and only about two months old.

The man then asked me, “ Would you like to keep this puppy?”

I had always wanted a puppy and now I had the chance. I thanked him, took the puppy and ran home. For the rest of that summer, I played with him all the time. And after the trip, I took him home. He is a friend to both my brother and me, a warm little ball of happiness in our lives.

I've always wanted to thank the man because he changed my life. The gift has given me years of pleasure(快乐). And I never have boring family holidays anymore.
